UMNO at the Crossroad

UMNO seems to have lost its direction and have not learnt the lesson from the recent election either.

They are now having an internal rife and trying to find the scapegoat for the disastrous result.

Pak Lah has thus become the first victim of attacks by his predecessor, Dr Mahathir and his supporters to resign from the position of PM and president of UMNO. And more protest voices ensue to call for the EGM and UMNO is divided into pro Mahathir and Pro Pak Lah camps and are sparring among themselves not knowing the impact and dire consequences that confront them.

Pak Lah has ruled Malaysia for the last 4 years as the PM for Malaysia and has portrayed himself as a open mind, moderate and trustworthy leader who cares for not only Malays but also other ethnic races. His advocacy for a clean and fair and non-corrupt government has earned the respect and commendation from all Malaysians. And yet some UMNO hardcore and arrogant racists have taken for granted the moderated Pak Lah to challenge the dignity of fellow Chinese and Indians as well as practising high-handed administrative prejudices against them.

If it was be blamed, Dr Mahathir should be the one who is responsible for the dismal result of the recent election as he is the one who sowed the seeds of cronyism, nepotism and corruption and has indulged in its existence for almost 2 decades without check.Now that the malignous cancer has reached the critical third stage and gone wild and it needs to undergo a series of Chemotheraphy procedures before it has the chance to be contained and cured.

So, Pak Lah seems to be the scapegoat of Dr Mahathir's carried forward administration and culture and to point a finger at Pak Lah is unfair and uncalled for.
